well i picked up this eswat conversion cab some time ago for ~$70.

its originally a missile command cab but restoring it to that isnt really something id want to take on.

so ive been working on making it a nice little neo cab.

i completely gutted and rewired it some time ago.

after the original monitor blew i replaced it with a brand new happ monitor.

all new sticks and buttons.

and now im nearing completion on the control panel.

i need to come up with a way to mount it yet. i have a hinge on it but need to devise some additional way to keep it flat. also the lucite cracked when i was drilling so i need a new pice as well.

im pretty happy with how it came out but kinda disappointed with the things that went wrong.

and i do have a nice brand new 2 slot marquee, it just has to be cut to size.

What kind of sticks do you have in there? They look kinda short but I bet they handle well.

the sticks are just happ super 8way joysticks. i think i use the middle length setting (theyre adjustable to 3 lengths iirc)

it makes for a nice short responsive stick. only problem is i didnt make the hole centered/big enough for player one:oh_no:
